Awful timing as St. Louis was struck with a puck by teammate Dominic Moore. Reports indicate that the veteran was hit directly in the eye which could keep him out of the lineup for the first time since the 2005-2006 campaign.
No Kubina tonight so expect Bruno Gervais to stay in the lineup. He scored a goal and four points with 26 PIM prior to getting hurt. Drawing back in would be a big boost for the team.
In four career appearances against the Rangers, Garon has a 2-2-0 record with a 2.49 GAA and .918 SV%.
No Bradley tonight although he's travelling with the team. Bradley has never topped 74 PIM over a full season. Don't expect too much of anything besides hits once he does return.
Ellerby once again draws out for rookie Erik Gudbranson. He has no fantasy hockey value at this point.
Dadonov once again looks like the odd-man out. The Russian forward has two goals in 11 games.
Samuelsson will play his first game with the Panthers tonight. The Swedish sniper is expected to see time on the second power play unit.
Barch makes his Panthers debut tonight. He could fight Shawn Thornton.
In 30 career appearances against the Bruins, Theodore has a 14-12-2-1 record with a 2.37 GAA, .923 SV% and two shutouts.
Higgins is travelling with the team but highly unlikely to play tonight after not practicing. The Smithtown, New York native has eight goals and 17 points in 26 games.
Lappy moves up to the third line due to all the injuries. The agitator has four goals and four assists in 27 games, playing primarily on the fourth line.
Sweatt will make his NHL debut on the third line. He has four goals and nine points in 19 AHL games.
Raymond gets a crack at a scoring line due to the injuries to David Booth and Christopher Higgins. The speedy left wing has an assist in two games.
In 26 career starts against the Habs, Luongo has a 9-11-3-2 record with a 2.44 GAA, .923 SV% and two shutouts.
Seguin was scratched for disciplinary reasons but expect him to get right back into the lineup. The sophomore has 13 goals and 25 points in 25 games but 11 of those points came in a six-game scoring binge.
If you own Green, all you can do is wait for him to get back into practice. The elite defender has only played in eight of the team's 26 games and remains out indefinitely.
Beagle hasn't played since getting knocked out by Arron Asham. He remains out indefinitely but it's a good sign that he is at least skating on his own.
Emmerton has a goal and an assist over 19 games. He has no fantasy hockey value at this point.
Filppula gets back in the lineup and probably plays on the second line. The Finnish forward has eight goals and 21 points through 25 games as he establishes himself as one of the better threats on the Red Wings.
Weber draws out for the first time all season. The Swiss defender has three goals and nine points in 28 games.
